Barely Escaping

Darkness, not being able to move or feel any limbs. This is what it is like when Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace feel like when tessering in the book A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'engle. The climax starts when Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace start walking down the hill. Before they start walking down the hill it says “She was completely unaware that her voice was trembling like an aspen leaf.” (Page 114 - 115)

Although talking about what the climax was I think I will explain why this is the climax. The reason I believe this is the climax is because everything after this point goes completely wrong; they figure out everyone has synchronized tasks. Some things that could have cause this is because of the dark thing that shadows over planets and turns them evil. Either the dark thing has made them evil or the evil brain IT has taken them all over.

Even though these cause the climax don’t forget about the effects of the climax. Some of the effects that were cause because of the climax were that they almost lost Charles Wallace. Another effect from the climax was when Meg got frozen when the tessered to another planet with their father. Another thing that was cause by the climax was “She Heard Calvin’s frozen voice: “But its beating. She’s Alive” (Page 180).

On the other hand if these events never happened at all then numerous situations would have never happened. One example is that if these events didn’t happen then Meg and Charles Wallace would never see their father again. Another thing is that the frightening situations that happens to them like Charles Wallace getting taken over or Meg getting frozen would have never happened.

All in all the events that occur in this book is important to the climax and what happens throughout the story. I know that the climax starts after they start walking down the hill on camazotz. They start to notice that something is wrong once they start getting to the outskirts of the town.
